"It's all a matter of time."
"You are either being profound, and I define profound not as a measure of how philosophically brilliant you think you are but how your profundity is perceived by your listeners, or you are just being silly by invoking a proverb that reflects the realities of a bygone era."
"Wow, that was profound right there... OK, you be the judge of the relevance of the proverb I am going to cite - a proverb birthed during a bygone era or to be precise during the Congress of Vienna in 1814 with Marquis Charles Maurice de Tallyrand-Perigord of France, when asked what treason was, he responded that it was merely a matter of time."
"Hmmm."
"So what do you reckon? Am I being profound or am I being silly?"
"Well, yes I see what you mean. Musharraf's actions were not treasonous as long as he was wearing the two hats, but they were when he took off one hat. You know in our period of history the courts are designed to take decisions on matters relating to treason and..."

"And surely that must make you consider my recitation of Tallerand-Perigord's statement as profound - it's all a matter of time."
"Ah yes indeed, and so the vultures around Mian sahib have toned down their rhetoric."
"You have to narrow it down for me: the vultures attacking the opposition? The vultures circling Main sahib focused on his downfall and that of his desired legacy/successor? The vultures waiting in the wings to see which side the cookie crumbles before coming into action? The vultures..."
"Hmmm, you know a vulture is found in all continents, except Australia, and is defined as a scavenger and a bird of prey so I am not sure which characteristic you are zeroing in on."
"The commonality of all vultures irrespective of location is that they are all bald right?"
"Oh you are so, so very bad."
